Kings F Nocioni arrested for DUI

Sacramento Kings forward Andres Nocioni was arrested on Thursday morning just after the team played the Atlanta Hawks.

Nocioni was released later Thursday after posting bail. According to a report from the Sacramento Bee, Nocioni was weaving within his lane and had an odor of alcohol when speaking with a police officer.

The 29-year-old released a statement through the team saying he was apologetic for his actions.

Nocioni was acquired by Sacramento last season from Chicago in a trade that sent Brad Miller to the Bulls. In 379 career games with the Bulls and Kings over six seasons, Nocioni has averaged 11.8 points and 5.0 rebounds.
